PRIMRE provides broad access to information on engineering and technologies, resource characterization, device performance, and environmental effects of Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) projects. PRIMRE facilitates the commercial development of the MRE industry by increasing the accessibility and discoverability of this information, integrating the databases and information portals found on this site, and developing standards and guidelines. Providing consistent, easy access to information can help reduce duplication of effort and to enable the MRE community to build upon the successes of others to innovate and advance the adoption of MRE technologies.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide an overview of PRIMRE and the main knowledge hubs that are supported within PRIMRE: MHK Data Repository, Tethys, and Tethys Engineering. We will demonstrate access to a broad range of information and data housed in the knowledge hubs.

As part of the decadal conference series, OceanObs’19 will galvanize the ocean observing community ranging from scientists to end users. OceanObs’19 seeks to improve response to scientific and societal needs of a fit-for-purpose integrated ocean observing system, for better understanding the environment of the Earth, monitoring climate, and informing adaptation strategies as well as the sustainable use of ocean resources.

Offshore Energy attracts a global audience of more than 12,145 offshore energy industry professionals. The three-day event, features an exhibition where over 600 companies will showcase their products and services. The accompanying conference addresses current and future issues in the offshore industry, covering developments in oil & gas, offshore wind and marine energy.
The Offshore Energy Conference caters to different target groups across the oil & gas, offshore wind and marine energy industries. The Keynotes sessions discuss global, industry-wide developments in the oil market, gas market, offshore wind market and marine energy market. The Thematic sessions zoom in on specific topics along the lifecycles of oil & gas and / or offshore wind.

The newly formed PAMEC. Energy Association is hosting its first Marine Renewable Energy Conference in San Jose, Costa Rica from January 26-28, 2020. The conference will cover a wide range of topics from technical to socioeconomic and envrionmental issues associated with the development of renewable energy on and from the ocean. Pan-American Marine Energy Conferences are designed to complement similar research collaboration conferences in Europe (European Wave and Tidal Energy Conferences or EWTEC) and in Asia (Asian Wave and Tidal Energy Conference or AWTEC). The PAMEC.Energy Association was established to be an ongoing organization to provide continuity between Conferences, and to support research and development in a range of marine renewable energy activities including offshore wind, wave, tidal, and thermal currents.
Researchers with an interest in these matters are encouraged to submit an extended abstract by June 15, 2019.

The 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting convenes every two years and provides a venue for international scientists, students, government representatives and industry practitioners to exchange information via oral presentations and poster sessions. Topics covered include all aspects of oceanography, especially multidisciplinary topics, as well as presentations that reflect new and emerging research on the global ocean and society, including science education, outreach and public policy. The OSM originated in 1982 as a joint effort between the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO). In 2004 The Oceanography Society (TOS) joined as a regular co-sponsor.

The theme for ICOE 2020 is “Energizing a Powerful Blue Economy.” The event will showcase breakthroughs in ocean energy technology research and development, prepare ocean renewable energy to benefit the larger “Blue Economy” and the electrical grid, and identify research needed to further advance the state of the technology.
